Today's world...

It is a different world, no doubt. I was pondering what would drive people to chase something like a Pokémon to be entertained. As I sat their pondering how crazy it seemed to me I had another thought. What would a Pokémon chaser think if he walked up on me doing what I was doing at that moment. I was sitting on a five gallon bucket with my camera tripod half submerged in the marsh taking photographs of dragonflies. I'm sure the Pokémon chaser would have thought, "What is that idiot doing, he needs to get a life". See it has always been and always will be different strokes for different folks.
I understand this line of thought and don't disagree. My view if you are pursuing what I'd consider a "tangible" pursuit. Pokémon is make believe. Dragonflies are real.
 
I don't get this crap either. When my daughter was younger we played outside, did play a few video games but not that many, and she was involved in 4H and rode horse's and did community things. She was a 4.0 student in high school, played violin, 6 string, 12 string guitar, piano and speaks 2 languages. Graduated in the top 10 from Lake Erie College. Never got into all this crap!!.........................oh I see a dragon up by the Rig, gotta run and catch it.........................................................

















NOT!!!!!!!
 
Yea, Im the bad guy when I dont let my kid become zombiefied with his cousins playing video games. Atleast the In laws think so. Only games my kid has is a Leap Pad Ultra. It is pretty educational stuff. He'd rather be outside turning every stick and toy into a gun or bow and taking aim, haha.
